BOLTlNG-REEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,143, dated July 28,1885.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AUGUST HEINE, of Silver Creek, in the county ofChautauqua and State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Bolting-Reels, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an improvementin the devices whereby thebolting-cloth is secured to the reel-frame, and has for its object toprovide a simple and efficient means for properly stretching the clothon the reel-frame.

1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of abolting-reel provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a fragmentarylongitudinal section of the same on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is alongitudinal section of the adjusting-screw and connecting parts on anenlarged scale.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.

A A represent the cylindrical end heads of the reel-frame,rigidlysecured in their proper relative positions by longitudinal stays or thelongitudinal shaft of the reel, or other suitable and well-known means.

B represents the cylinder of bolting-cloth, stretched around and betweenthe end heads, A A, and provided at both ends with strips or bands I)b,of ticking or other strong cloth,which is firmly secured to thebolting-cloth by sewing or otherwise.

0 represents eyelets secured in the strips of cloth I) b at suitablepredetermined distances apart.

D D represent hoops or rings, which surround the cylindrical end heads,AA, the latter being provided at their inner ends with annular shouldersd d,which limit the inward movement ofthe rings D D on the heads'A A.

e represents hooks secured at suitable distances apart to the outersides of the rings D D, and adapted to receive the eyelets 0, fastenedin the strips 12 b of the bolting-cloth.

F represents longitudinal adjusting-screws L secured with their innerends to the ring D,.

and passing with their outer threaded ends through lugs f,formed on thehead A, to which they are secured by thumb-nuts 9, so that thelongitudinal tension of the bolting-cloth can be regulated by adjustingthe screws F.

For the purpose of properly applying the eyelets c to the strips b, atemplet is prepared =screws F in a well-known manner.

on which the location of the hooks e on the rings D D is marked. Thestrips b,with the boltingcloth attached thereto,are then placed on thetemplet and stretched to the tension which the bolting-cloth is toreceive circumferentially when applied to the reel-frame. In thisstretched condition of the strips 1) the places which the hooks e occupyare marked on the strips,and the eyeletsc are then secured in the stripsat the points so marked. One end of the bolting-cloth is now applied tothe ring D by engaging the eyelets 0 upon the hooks e, and in doing sothe cloth is again stretched circumforentially of the reel to the sameten sion which was applied to it in marking the places for the eyeletson the strips b. By using proper care in marking the places for theeyelets the cloth is stretched uniformly between every two hooks,whichdistinguishes this mode of fastening from lacing, in which lattermode the tension applied is regulated by the judgment of the personapplying the cloth, and different in different parts of thecircumference of the reel, according to the varying strains applied todifferent portlons of the lacing-cord. The other end of the cloth isattached in like manner to the ring D and similarly stretched. Thelongitudinal joint of the cloth is secured by lacing, sewing, or othersuitable means. In this manner the proper circumferential tension isapplied to the cloth at both ends,thereby avoiding overstraining of thecloth as well as looseness or puckering. The proper longitudinal tensionis now given to the cloth by adjusting the The position of the hooks onthe rings D D being known, the cloth is prepared ready for applicationto the reel-frame, and the predetermined proper circumferential tensionis given to the'clothin fastening it to the reel-frame, thereby greatlyfacilitating the application of the cloth' and preventing improperstretching of the same.

I claim as my inventionl. The combination, with the reel-frame, providedwith two circumferential series of hooks, of a bolting-cloth providedwith strong end strips having eyelets or openings which are fastened onand securely held by said hooks, whereby the cloth is secured to thereel-frame and a uniform predetermined tension is applied to the clothcircuinferentially, substantially as set forth.
